BZP taxi association cooperates with payleven

The largest German passenger traffic association, BZP, and payleven, the European provider for mobile card payments, have announced their cooperation.

Payleven has just been appointed as a sustaining member of the BZP. In existence since 1947, the central organisation of German public transportation businesses such as taxis and rental cars, now offers the Chip & Pin technology to all of their members. Moreover, the device is sold under special conditions: BZP members only pay 69 Euro with a 2.75% transaction fee for any payment. No contracts or fix fees are needed as payleven uses a “plug and pay” system. As the Chip & PIN device is easily operated via smartphone or tablet, maximum mobility without any cable internet connection is guaranteed.

“Cashless payment is a major trend especially in the segment of passenger traffic”, says Konstantin Wolff, founder and CMO of payleven. “This is why it is highly important to push the democratisation of card payments forward for all such businesses. We are very much looking forward working towards this in cooperation with the BZP.”
